With so many courses available these days on just about every topic imaginable, it’s easy to glaze over when yet another course offers to “take your business to 7 figures in 8 weeks,” blah, blah, blah.

I didn’t create Web Designer Beauty School to be a magic cure for all your woes. But I DID create it to empower women like you and me to make a better life for themselves. And it’s working.

Web Designer Beauty School has changed the lives of many of its students — sometimes in ways that were unimaginable when they first started. If you have been thinking about joining us, take a look at these 8 reasons why the Beauty School is unlike any other course to determine whether or not it’s the right fit for you.

#1 It’s not just a WordPress 101 course.

If you wanted to learn the basics of WordPress, there are plenty of free tutorials that will take you through the process. If all we taught were WordPress basics, you wouldn’t get very far. Beauty School goes well beyond basics, yet in an easy-to-understand-and-apply format.

#2 You won’t be producing the same websites as all the other students.

Web Designer Beauty School is not at all cookie cutter. Our emphasis is on building custom websites that look and function the way YOU want them to—not the way WE tell you they should.

#3 You learn CSS code. Not PHP.

(Translation: The code you will learn is not intimidating.) We teach you to build websites using the Thesis theme, a dynamic theme that allows you to build any site you desire without having to earn a PhD in complicated code. Sure, you will learn to use CSS and HTML code, but you will learn that’s not as challenging as it sounds.

#4 You will learn from real-world examples.

We don’t just give you the text book explanation for how to create different features on your site (snooze!). We find beautiful sites with features you’ll love, and we show you how you can easily recreate the same look and functionality in your own sites.

#5 We’ve got your back.

The Web Designer Support School is a private Facebook community where you will be able to get the support you need if you ever get stuck — or if you experience problems with clients. A community of women, along with Krista and I, will always be there to help you tackle any web design topics you need help with. No question goes unanswered.

#6 We don’t just give you the fish, we teach you how to fish.

You know the saying, “Give a [wo]man a fish, [s]he’ll eat for a day. Teach her to fish, she’ll eat for a lifetime.” When we give advice in the Support School, we don’t just tell you how to blindly take the next steps, we explain WHY so that you will be able to apply that knowledge when you encounter a similar situation later on. Let me reiterate: No question goes unanswered.

#7 You learn to make web design your career.

We cover how to work with clients, from the discovery process and presenting to clients, to designing sites with your clients in mind. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. We show you how to make your dream a reality.

#8 We teach with your clients in mind.

We show you how to design your sites with your clients in mind. That means you will create user-friendly sites every single time. You’ll learn tricks and systems that help to streamline your process, making it easy for everyone in the long run.

I am so excited to share our course with you. Krista Smith and I have worked very hard to create a unique experience that gives you a well-rounded knowledge of how to create websites, and ultimately, to create the life of your dreams.
